The system uses HDBaseT 2.0 technology for superior data integrity and reliable operation. HDMI input supports 4K/60 4:4:4 HDR with upto 18 Gig bandwidth. VGA and its associates Audio inputs are converted to HDMI and scaled to be displayed on any TV or projector.

The UHB-SW2 can extend the signals over a single CAT6 cable to a distance of 120 ft for 4K@60Hz or 220ft for 1080p video. USB and RS-232 control signals are also extended.
